BoyFriend•XML [FNF] V2

Boyfriend is the protagonist of Friday Night Funkin'. He is a young rapper who is trying to date Girlfriend, but her parents, Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest, are trying to kill him. To gain their approval, he must sing off against them and many other characters in his way during various weeks. Boyfriend is a young man with light skin and spiky cyan hair. He wears a backward pink-red cap with a blue brim, a magenta-white short-sleeved T-shirt with a red prohibition sign, baggy blue pants, and pink-red sneakers with magenta-white shoelaces and soles, as well as small holes on the quarters and the letters "NG" engraved on the outsoles. He holds a bluish-gray microphone in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his pocket. In his idle animation, he wears a confident grin and bops his head. He is drawn in a chibi style. During Christmas, he wears a red parka with white fur, light blue pants, and light brown snow boots. Boyfriend is portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts,[6] and his girlfriend. He loves to sing and show off his skills, resulting in his confident and cocky character. He is very determined and persistent about reaching his goals and won't let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death. Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen without Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, either not realizing when he is in danger or being overconfident about his ability to get out of it.[7] As a result, he is afraid of virtually nothing.[8] This is demonstrated during both Monster and Winter Horrorland, where he does not appear to be afraid despite Monster's constant threats to him and Girlfriend. Boyfriend also seems to get bored of scary games, as he once almost fell asleep while playing one.[9] Despite this apparent lack of intelligence, he has street smarts, as he knows how to heal people. Boyfriend has been diagnosed with ADHD and ASD.[11] When communicating with others, he will simply beep or vocalize in musical tones instead of talking,[12] giving the impression that he is rather eccentric, although he may be able to use verbal communication in some cases (such as when singing). He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a musician and freestyle rapper. Furthermore, he is never found without his red cap. Boyfriend has low levels of empathy, but he has good intuition.[13] He may live in a messy place, as he does not wash his dirty clothes and continuously moves a pile of them around his room depending on his needs, which also suggests that he has executive dysfunction.[14] His object permanence is also not very good at times.[15] He has a poor concept of time, too, which is a common ADHD trait. He doesn't know very well how to handle money, either, as when he has to pay for a hamburger, he will pay less than what the hamburger costs. Boyfriend seems quite willing to do immoral things. From tricking iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes,[1] getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs,[17] and vandalizing PlayPlaces,[18] Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways Not much is known about Boyfriend's parents, but they seem to be willing to make sacrifices for him, as they floated him the entry fees for public college. However, based on the fact that Boyfriend simply stopped showing up to class so he could instead read comics in the library all day,[24] which subsequently led to his dropping out,[25] he may not be very interested in or appreciative of the things that his parents want or do for him.He is also the only one who is very afraid of lightning. BoyFriend is 7 feet tall, but he looks small because he is drawn in chibi style. Girlfriend Girlfriend is Boyfriend's partner. The two love each other very much and are never shown to be apart. Boyfriend is determined to do whatever he can to stay with Girlfriend and protect her, including by singing off against her parents and others, even when in dangerous situations. Their closeness is shown when Boyfriend happily catches Girlfriend and receives a hug from her during the cutscene for Stress thanks to true love. Daddy Dearest Daddy Dearest hates Boyfriend for dating Girlfriend and wants him dead, as he often tries to kill him when the couple are trying to enjoy spending time together. Even though Daddy Dearest is an evil demon, Boyfriend is not afraid to face off against him in rap battles in order to be allowed to date his daughter. Despite his hatred for Boyfriend, Daddy Dearest compliments his singing skills in unused cutscene dialogue for Fresh. Pico Pico and Boyfriend used to date,[26][27][28][29] though little is known about the relationship they had. It is known that the reason for their breakup is "complicated,"[30] and it has been hinted that they sang together in the past, as Pico raps with Boyfriend in Week 3 due to nostalgia and old habits.[31] This implies that Pico misses him in some way. Pico is loyal to Boyfriend in the present day, betraying his employer, Daddy Dearest, by sparing Boyfriend after being hired to kill him twice. This is implied to be because Pico still has feelings for his ex.[32] Boyfriend appears to be fully comfortable being around Pico and even sings with him happily, but it is otherwise unclear how Boyfriend feels about Pico. Mommy Mearest Like Daddy Dearest, Mommy Mearest hates Boyfriend greatly, partaking in the plan to kill Boyfriend by having him fall off a plane[33] and making him sing off against her on top of a moving limousine. She even throws darts at a picture of him on a wall while bathing.[9] Boyfriend is not deterred by her actions, confidently defeating her in singing battles. Skid and Pump Boyfriend is friendly with Skid and Pump. When the children arrive at Girlfriend's house while out trick-or-treating, Boyfriend gladly lets them play by singing with them, even though they are trying to get Girlfriend for Monster (though whether or not he is initially aware of their plans is unclear). Monster Although Monster wants to eat Boyfriend, the rapper is not afraid to face off against him in singing battles, even as he constantly makes disturbing threats toward Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Thanks to Boyfriend's rapping skills, Monster is easily defeated each time before he can do anything to the couple. Senpai Senpai is initially friendly toward Boyfriend, deciding to engage in a serenade between gentlemen to decide who will be able to date Girlfriend. However, after Boyfriend beats him in a rap battle, Senpai gets very angry at him. He threatens to rip Boyfriend's testicles off as soon as he is done letting Girlfriend gargle his own. Despite this, he wants to upstage Boyfriend without violence.[31] Boyfriend doesn't seem to care about being threatened, simply responding to Senpai with beeping noises before both of his songs. Spirit Due to Spirit's apparent distorted sense of justice, he considers it "only fair" to take Boyfriend and Girlfriend's bodies for himself in order to escape the dating sim game he was trapped in. Even with this threat, Boyfriend remains undeterred, as he confidently rap battles the ghastly soul without saying a word to him beforehand and ultimately wins. Tankman Tankman is very rude to Boyfriend and only decided not to kill him on sight because he had a boring day. Though he compliments his performance the first time, he is just as quick to insult Boyfriend about his girlfriend. Tankman does not take losing to Boyfriend twice lightly, as he ultimately orders his men to kill the couple in retaliation. After the soldiers are stopped by Pico, Tankman decides to settle the situation by challenging Boyfriend to one final rap battle. Despite his vulgar attitude, he was impressed enough by Boyfriend to share another compliment halfway through Stress, saying "Heh. Pretty good!" Darnell Darnell is one of the people hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend. He appears to be very determined to get his job done as he battles Pico to do so. After battling Pico, he loses interest in trying to take Boyfriend's life. Nene Nene is one of the people hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend. Like Darnell, she selfishly does whatever she can to get the job done.
